How to Use This Forest Hills, Tennessee Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Forest Hills, Tennessee. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Tennessee or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Forest Hills.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Forest Hills occupies a landscape of quiet topography where the earth rises and falls in long, rhythmic swells of limestone and clay. It lies 3.9 miles west-southwest of Knoxville, TN (from Knoxville, TN: bearing 251°T), and is situated 9.4 miles southwest of Knox. The land serves as a verdant buffer against the encroaching pace of the modern world, dominated by heavy canopies of hardwoods that retain the damp, cool scent of earth long after the sun has retreated. To the east, the silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains marks the distant horizon, a blurred ink line against the sky, while closer at hand, the terrain dips toward the Tennessee River, which carves its path through the region with an ancient, deliberate weight. Within the boundaries of Forest Hills, the Forest Heights Neighborhood Park provides a local sanctuary where the architecture of the trees feels more permanent than the homes themselves, and the light at dusk settles in thick, amber layers across the sloping lawns.

The history of Forest Hills is one of intentional preservation, a deliberate choice to maintain low density in a region that has otherwise surrendered much of its pastoral character to rapid development. The local economy here is largely detached from the industrial hum of the Tennessee River, functioning instead as a quiet residential enclave that prioritizes the stillness of large, wooded lots over the density of commerce. Residents often look toward the nearby presence of Jones Cove as a reminder of the area’s geologic origins, finding a sense of continuity in the way the local flora persists despite the proximity of urban expansion. Life in Forest Hills moves with a measured cadence, defined by the seasonal shifting of leaves and the persistent, low-frequency hum of a place that has decided to hold its ground against the friction of the outside world.
